While the actors in Daddy Day Camp may be different, the tired and predictable storyline full of jokes involving urinating, flatulence, burping, vomiting and crotch shots remains the same.

Consensus: The once-promising career of Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr. may have hit its nadir. An bad sequel to a bad movie, Daddy Day Camp relies too heavily on bodily functions for comedic effect, resulting in plenty of gags but no laughs.

Fred Savage makes his feature-film directorial debut in this sequel to DADDY DAY CARE. Charlie Hinton (Cuba Gooding,Jr.) and Phil Ryerson (Paul Rae) decide to parlay the success of their "Daddy Day Care" into day camps in order to save Camp Driftwood. Once the crème de la crème of camps, Driftwood has seen better days, while rival Camp Canola has become a hot property featuring paint ball, dirt bikes, and jet skis. Charlie and Phil buy the camp in order to save it, only to find themselves completely out of their element, which becomes painfully obvious on the first day of camp. With foreclosure impending, Charlie swallows his pride and calls in the ultimate reinforcement: his father, Colonel Buck Hinton (Richard Gant). Of course, Buck and his son have completely different child-rearing styles, leading to some tension as the elder Hinton tries to whip Driftwood's motley campers into shape for the annual Olympiad with Camp Canola. DADDY DAY CAMP serves up lessons about the importance of teamwork, honesty, believing in yourself, and following your dreams. And the campers are not the only ones who learn important lessons; both Charlie and Buck learn to be better fathers and to appreciate each other despite their differences. Gooding and Rae step into the roles originated by Eddie Murphy and Jeff Garlin in the first film. Brian Doyle-Murray appears briefly as Uncle Morty, the camp's owner, and Lochlyn Munro is amusing as Charlie's childhood nemesis, Lance Warner. But the real stars of this film are the campers, who are subjected to endless nature walks, bus crashes, and commando raids by Canola campers. Spencir Bridges, son of actor Todd Bridges, plays Charlie's son, Ben. [More]

Reviews for Daddy Day Camp
I can't think of a single kind word to say about this unfortunate family comedy which is unoriginal, predictable, schmaltzy and bland.
Parents! Hire a bouncy castle. Put on clown paint and make balloon animals. You need not see this.
An unnecessary and unlovable sequel to the Eddie Murphy vehicle Daddy Day Care, though this time the producers have traded down to Cuba Gooding Jr. Not recommended.
Criminally lazy follow-up to the syrupy family comedy Daddy Day Care.
Never work with children or animals. Unless you're a child or an animal, in which case, never work with Cuba Gooding Jnr.
Desperately unfunny, badly written sequel that's essentially a mish-mash of tired cliches, fart gags and genuinely terrible performances. One to avoid.
Watching children act, when it's bad, is on par with having a tooth pulled; and suffice it to say, the adult acting is not much better.
If your idea of fun is an hour and a half surrounded by screaming, whining, vomiting children, then this may be your movie.
While Danica McKellar is busy extolling the virtues of mathematics to young females of America, her erstwhile leading man Fred Savage can be found toiling for a far less noble cause.
...original stars Eddie Murphy and Jeff Garlin have wisely chosen to be absent this time around.
Doesn't attain the acute awfulness of last week's Bratz -- but also lacks the grim 'end of civilization as we know it' fascination of that discharge of dumbness.
